Sword Emperor

0Because the hall in here is quite empty, so much so that it can be said that there's nothing at all. There was only a bead emitting light, about the size of a fist, quietly floating in the middle of the hall.     1

    

The bead was rotating slowly. A trace of deep aura was pressing down on the surroundings. Sun Bing had just felt the mountain-like pressure. It must be the pressure released from the bead.    

    

Sun Bing and Sun Yanran frowned, but when they turned around, they could see that something was wrong with the Small Xuanwu. At this moment, it seemed like it had lost its soul, and a trace of tears could be seen in its eyes. It was in a very sad mood.    

    

It could not help but slowly walk into the room. The originally suppressed and deep aura had changed in a short moment. It was even filled with warmth and comfort.    

    

As the Small Xuanwu gradually approached, the light on the bead also became gentle. It was as if the light was filled with joy as it flickered.    

    

In the end, the bead flew towards the Small Xuanwu, and as it flew, it shrunk and merged with the Small Xuanwu's body in an instant.    

    

Seeing this scene, Sun Bing and Sun Yanran quickly stepped forward and slowly asked, "What is this thing? Why did it mysteriously merge into your body?"    

    

At this time, Small Xuanwu's mood was quite downcast. After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "This is the Black Tortoise Pearl."    

    

After knowing this name, Sun Bing and Sun Yanran subconsciously became absent-minded. Their hearts were filled with shock. They seemed to be stunned on the spot, but their hearts had already started to churn.    

    

This was because the Black Tortoise Pearl was too famous. Just the name of the Black Tortoise alone was enough to imagine how precious it was. It could be considered one of the most precious treasures in the world. Not even the Divine Land Tripod could compare with it, unless they had a complete set of it in their hands. Only then would they be able to compete with it.    

    

The Black Tortoise was one of the four extremes of the heaven and earth, and it was also one of the Four Symbols Divine Beast. And this Black Tortoise Pearl was the most precious thing of the Black Tortoise. In fact, most of the essence of the Black Tortoise was condensed within it.    

    

After wearing it, it was rumored to have various terrifying effects. It seemed to be able to extend one's lifespan and improve one's cultivation. It also seemed to be able to increase one's comprehension of water-type Dao Arts and profundities, or perhaps it would be able to resist poison and be indestructible.    

    

However, these were merely rumors, as no one had ever obtained the Black Tortoise Pearl since ancient times.    

    

After all, it was impossible for the Black Tortoise to hand over such a precious object. Besides, no one in the world could force it to hand it over, unless the Black Tortoise died.    

    

The battle in the past was really too tragic. Even the starry sky was completely opened. In the end, even if the Black Tortoise died, it would still rather be broken into pieces and die together with the enemy.    

    

As for the Black Tortoise Pearl, it had naturally been carefully searched. It had even searched every inch of the Northern Domain, but there were still no results. It seemed that the Black Tortoise Pearl had disappeared.    

    

Due to the passage of time, there might be people searching for it in the beginning hundreds or thousands of years, but it was slowly abandoned. There were some rumors about the Black Tortoise Pearl in history, but they were all forgotten in the end. If it wasn't for the Small Xuanwu itself, even Sun Bing would have forgotten about it.    

    

Never would he have thought that such a precious treasure like the Black Tortoise Pearl would be hidden in this place. Since ancient times, no one had ever discovered it, and today, it had finally seen the light of day once more.    

    

After the Black Tortoise Pearl entered the Small Xuanwu's body, there was no blockage in the process. In the next moment, the momentum on the Small Xuanwu's body began to quietly change.    

    

Sun Bing could clearly sense that the Small Xuanwu that had obtained the Black Tortoise Pearl had become even more profound. The Black Tortoise Pearl in his body seemed to be releasing energy at all times, merging with the Small Xuanwu's body, making it even stronger.    

    

If it was before, it would take at least ten thousand years for the Small Xuanwu to grow up and even evolve to its peak.    

    

After all, although the Black Tortoise was loved by the heavens and earth and had almost no bottlenecks in its cultivation, the time required in the early stages was really too long.    

    

But now, the original ten thousand years of time had shrunk to a few hundred to a thousand years. Sun Bing was certain that within a thousand years, the Small Xuanwu in front of him would definitely grow. It would become a terrifying expert that terrified everyone.    

    

All of this was carried out with the help of the Black Tortoise Pearl. It was imaginable how precious it was. Even Sun Bing's eyes flashed with greed.    

    

Fortunately, Sun Bing had stopped his greed because he would never attack anyone. Besides, the ancestor of the Black Tortoise was his ancestor. He was indebted to Sun Bing. Since he had promised to protect the Black Tortoise, Sun Bing would never go back on his word.    

    

After a while, the qi and blood in Small Xuanwu's body became deeper and deeper. In the end, it broke through the obstruction of the level 1 in his body. The qi in his body rose to a higher level, and he had reached the Transcendence.    

    

As the Qi in his body surged, the Black Tortoise Pearl was completely refined by the Small Xuanwu. It could even be said that there was no need to refine it, as it was already able to fuse with him. As for the memories that came from the Black Tortoise Pearl earlier, it was still digesting them.    

    

The scenes of the great battle clearly reverberated in the Small Xuanwu's mind. This caused his heart to be filled with raging fury, and his entire body was filled with a sorrowful aura.    

    

All of this was not present in the inherited memories. Only by truly obtaining the Black Tortoise Pearl would one be able to understand just how intense the previous battle was. At a glance, it seemed like there were numerous powerful enemies.    

    

Even the terrifying defense of the Black Tortoise was unable to resist the attacks of so many enemies. Although it had caused some damage to the enemies, at the same time, it had also ended up dying.    

    

Seeing the Small Xuanwu that was still quite sad not far away, Sun Bing could not help but slowly walk forward and pat the turtle shell on the back of the Small Xuanwu. He said softly: "Senior Black Tortoise is indeed worthy of the name of his Divine Beast. Please call him by the way."    

    

However, Sun Bing's words did not give the Small Xuanwu any more comfort. In fact, it made the Small Xuanwu even more sad. "That battle lasted for three hundred years, but my ancestor was always alone and helpless. In the end, he could only die."    

    

After hearing these words, Sun Bing could not help but become silent. He really did not know what to say.    

    

After three hundred years of intense fighting, it was likely that the Black Tortoise had already suffered an unknown number of injuries. The intense pain was also caused by the injuries of the Meaning of Dao that had penetrated deep into its bone marrow. In addition to that helplessness and despair, no one could imagine just how much pressure the Black Tortoise had suffered at that time.    

    

At that time, the Humans was merely a baby who had just learned how to cultivate. Even if there were one or two people who had successfully cultivated it, they were not qualified to participate in such a battle.    

    

In the end, they could only watch the Black Tortoise fall. They did not know how to thank such a great favor. Hence, Sun Bing could only let out a long sigh in the end. Only then did he slowly open his mouth and speak.    

    

"We can understand your feelings, but he did it to fight Ancient Clans. And to protect me, the Humans. I don't care about the others. If you want to take revenge in the future, I will do my best to help you. The Humans will not stand idly by. "    

    

Because this kindness was too great, there was no way to repay it. Until now, one could still see from the ancient books that the Black Tortoise had brought him great help. Now, it was time to repay it.    

    

The Small Xuanwu did not say anything at this moment. However, the sorrowful aura on its body had dissipated quite a bit. After that, it headed outside.    

    

As it walked, it could hear a vicious voice coming out from its mouth, "Now, let's go and kill those alien species that stole the eggs. We'll treat this as the interest for the previous battle."
